Kids don’t fake it 🤫

A friend once told me this and I’ve never forgotten it.
When the kids are dysregulated, start simple:
• Get them wet (bath, swim, splash) 🌊
• Get them outside (fresh air, sunshine) ☀️
• Give them food (fuel or rest) 😌

What’s a piece of parenting advice that’s stuck with you?

We learn from each other. 💞

There are so many tools to support our cycles,
but none are one size fits all.
We’re still learning what works
best for each individual woman.

This organic red raspberry leaf tea is
traditionally used to support cycle regularity
and uterine tone, while nourishing the body.

Share what you’ve learned.
It might help another woman. ☕️

Postpartum doula POV:
when mama can put her feet up
and just be with her baby. 🥰

Us: 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Silly when we can.
Serious when it matters.
Grace under pressure. 💁‍♀️💅

A new baby grows the whole family. 💗

Herbal tea, heirloom china.
Women being women.
Mothers mothering.
🫖
I wonder what our grandmas talked about when they were this age.
Maybe,
navigating teething babies and teenage attitudes.

It all feels a little easier with a good friend by your side, offering you a cup.
To share joy and grief.
Dreams and doubts.
Somehow, it makes all the hard parts lighter. 💕

Postpartum doulas see the things
everyone else overlooks. ⏲️

I have professional skills, like my NRP certification.
Just as importantly, I have practical skills.

I’m a mother first.
I know where you need help most—
because I’ve been through this, too. 💜
